I'm currently at university and left my main GPU back home. I've got an old PC here, but I took out the GPU before leaving for my off term. I'm on a budget and trying to find a placeholder GPU, since I mainly play esports titles like Rocket League and Valorant. I'm looking to hit over 360 FPS since my monitor is 360Hz, but I'll be playing at 1080p with low to medium settings. Here are the options I'm considering: 1) RX 7600 for $250, 2) 5060 Ti 8GB for $400, 3) B580 for $275 but I've heard it can reduce FPS with older CPUs which might not be great for me since I have a 5800X, 4) 7600 XT for $320. Should I wait for the 5060 which is expected to be around $300?

If you can find a 3060 Ti for the same price as the 7600 XT, that’s a solid choice! It’s often better and more reliable for what you're aiming to do. The newer cards like the 7600 XT and the 5060 just feel overpriced right now.
Hey! For esports, I'd recommend looking at the 3070 or the 6700 XT/6800 if you can find them. They generally offer better performance. I wouldn’t go for the 5060 8GB though; it doesn't seem worth the price.
Those options sound great, but I can't find the 6700 XT or 6800 in my area either.
I agree! Didn’t realize the 3060 Ti was better. Seems like Nvidia has missed the mark this generation!
